    My 1999 Buick (GM cars) had a code in their radios also. If you don't bother setting it up, the code from the factory is 0000. If you change it, you have to let your mechanic know what you changed it to, or you have to enter the code yourself. Otherwise your radio (and clock) won't work.

    Honestly, I have no idea who would want to steal a factory radio. GM Delco or Honda's OEM especially.

    I wonder if, somewhere out there on the Interwebs, someone is likewise recommending on doing an oil change while the engine is running.

    After all, the oil will be warm and will drain well. :biggrin5:
